Our Story

"So you want to know how it all happened? It started on Main Street in Mendocino, Ca 20 years ago when we first met. I was cooking chicken soup in my van across from Alphonso's when a woman, I thought maybe a vision at first, passed the window of my Dodge van.
That was it. My sworn single days were over right before my eyes. The rest is history. I was the Abalone Kid then. We became "The Abalone Kids" making abalone jewelry that 4 years later was discovered by The Smithsonian Institution of Wash, D.C and exhibited at The National Museum of American Art."

First off we want to tell you that if you like our creativity we confess to being humbled by our success. To be frank, we didn't have a clue to begin with as to how to make jewelry. Only God could have done this for us. We give glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

There is one church in every generation, His called out ones, His sheep, not one will He lose, and we give glory to God for His love and for His Son, Jesus Christ.

Smithsonian and Galleries

Our abalone jewelry was exhibited in The Renwick Gallery which is located steps from the White House in the heart of historic federal Washington, D. C. It became the home of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's craft and decorative arts program in 1972 and features one of the finest collections of American craft in the United States.
